I've completed the back and I'm just passed the armholes on the front, I've got to split for the 'V' neck line now, but it's giving me grief. I altered the pattern a bit and also found the pattern had a couple of errors, so the number of stitches I have on the needles, and the number the pattern says I should have is different. All my maths skills are now needed to work out how many stitches I need to do before I turn around and put half of the stitches on a stitch holder, so I can do one side at a time, bearing in mind at the same time I have to decrease on the armhole edge.
On New Years Day, I decided it was time to make myself a knitting bag to take my knitting in to my weekly 'Knit and Chat' group I go to. A plastic bag is not quite the thing. I go along on a Friday morning to 'Sitting Knitting' our fabulous local wool shop in Mere Green. It's always a great way to spend a Friday morning, chatting, drinking tea, eating cake, and oh, yes there is knitting too.
Apart from my bag and the laptop bag I did over Christmas I made a mini quilt for my friend Susan. We go to a City and Guilds class every Tuesday together and she has this little sketch book she had filled with little art items made by people she knows on the various courses she has done. She asked me to contribute to her book and this is what I did.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
to all those people who show an interest in my little sewing projects.
